today i'm highlighting mole, whose VN "dropped connection" is ALL killer no filler and very moving in just a few minutes. "It's about the inherent ambiguity of text and the often delicate, fleeting nature of online relationships," mole says.
"I've been online long enough that I've seen many friendships just fade away suddenly, and a few others that could have probably been more if I'd ever asked. It's all very close to my heart," mole says of "dropped connection."
"It was created for a jam, which forced me to get creative about how the game was presented," mole says of "dropped connection." "Slash the scope and keep quiet until you're sure you've found a balance. Nobody has to know what could have been except you."
"It's easy to fall into a design you think is reasonable only to discover it's really not," mole says. "Even the games that look really simple to the average person are still incredibly difficult to make. Every game that sees release is a small miracle."
